Incorporating metabolic labels into their corresponding biopolymers is greatly facilitated by minimizing the size of artificial residues. Since linear alkenes such as vinyl moieties are small and undergo inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reactions with tetrazines, they are particularly interesting for bioorthogonal labeling. Pyrimidyl tetrazines show a well-balanced equilibrium between chemical stability and reactivity that helps to overcome the inherently low reaction rates of linear alkenes. Compared with traditionally applied tetrazines, pyrimidyl tetrazines stand out for their
Scheme 1: Pyrimidyl tetrazines are particularly reactive dienes in iEDDA due to the direct linkage of the tetrazine core to the electron-withdrawing pyrimidine ring. Applications include the conversion of alkene-decorated sugars1,2, amino acids3 and nucleotides4,5, thus permitting bioorthogonal labeling of glycanes, proteins and nucleic acids at rate constants of 0.01 – 0.1 M-1s-1.
